Because they NEVER intend to cut ANYTHING.
But they'll threaten you with cuts to children, the poor, the elderly and veterans because it causes people to 'Come to their senses" and come begging the government to step in and "help".
It's extortion and it's illegal for anyone but the government to do.

May 1 Prayer
Now I lay me down to sleep
One less terrorist this world does keep
With all my heart, I give my thanks
......To those in uniform, regardless of ranks
You serve our country and serve it well
With humble hearts your stories tell
So as I rest my weary eyes
While freedom rings, our flag still flies
You give your all, do what you must
With God we live, and in God we trust.
Amen.

Well the last American flag came down off the VA Hospital nursing home wall , but it went back up real fast when I said well something else for my letter to the senators . Several other men spoke up with me about this issue. The flag we are talking about was in memory of an Army MP unit that lost men in Iraq and it is folded and does not take up that much room. Men died to fly this flag over Baghdad Iraq in the recent war there, and we veterans here patients and employees do not forget to honor this country's dead veterans that paid the price in the war on terror and for our way of life.
GOD BLESS THE USA
